will see do we get any kind of stream about tournament even :-/
|
Such shitty coverage (=none) from official sources, so good job giving SOME visibility to this. Hope there'll be some streams too.

Posted this in the SotG thread, I'll post it again here:
I casted the IeSF US Qualifier. Idra took 1st, Sheth took 2nd, Agh took 3rd. Idra and Sheth are participating in IPL3, which is the same time as the IeSF World Championships, so Agh will be representing the US.
I inquired whether or not the World Championships would be broadcasted in English. They told me no. I then told them they should seriously consider it. They then asked me if I wanted to go cast the event, I would be given a computer, a microphone, and stream software. All production would be up to me, along with all threads to expose the event. I would pay for my plane ticket and that's it.
I turned them down, as far as I know this tournament won't be seen outside of korea. (It is during IPL3)

It's great that you took the initiative however it would have been nice if you could have told another caster to ask if he would be interested. Some caster is better than no caster

i think today its the opening ceremocies plus welcome parties and VIP stuff. srsly this is the weirdest tour i ev ever met. no info no updates no stream no calendar event shitty official site . its a shame cuz ppl from countries like greece have unique representatives and prolly wont hace the opportunity to see their country fighting to sth international. IeSF is either a joke or they just dont care at all. Even sc2 on their official site is not written as exhibition or official title.
|
Whatever, the Scepter of Teuroinen is gonna take this tour home anyways! VALTIKKA WHAITIN!
|
Horrible timing with IGN and MLG and ESL

Well, is it casted in any other language? Any cast should be better than no cast at all. If not, will at least be replays available?
I don't really understand why you would make a tournament without any coverage at all. Is there a live audience?
Edit: There is a "live corner" on the website, but it all points to last year's event.

hmmm hard to predict, but i think Osho or Goody
|
go go reason!

It seems to me that the Bulgarian player is not Kalin. Kalin did not have a valid passport (according to the Bulgarian eSports Federation), so they replaced him. According to a Bulgarian website, it is Petko "Kose" Dilchev who will represent Bulgaria for SC2. (Source)

As far as I know the IeSF is different from most other esports events in that it's government sponsored for the purposes of promoting the host city. Providing coverage for non-Koreans is fairly low on their list of priorities.
It's also very poorly organised.

No disrespect to the players, but this is probably the weakest playerpool for a tournament with such a huge prizepool we have seen in sc2.
I have a feeling that Grubby may win his first big tournament in sc2. elfi is probably the favorite though.

Live event with high prize pool, so wasted... Btw Sjow love to win stealth tournaments
